Students fly the lab's first UAV timepoint
Our lab has worked with UAV data for almost a decade—building code, training and evaluating models, answering questions, and publishing papers—but we depended on collaborators and contractors to fly our fields. Until now. We collected our first timepoint—of many—for 4,500 research plots outside Lincoln, Nebraska. Our students flew. Thank you to Biquan Zhao (our teacher), Zhongjie Ji (our UAV data expert), and Jinliang Yang (who trusted us with his now-irreplaceable UAV), and congratulations to the lab’s four newly FAA-licensed UAV pilots: Karla Cuéllar, Harshita Mangal, Anuradha Choudhary, and Ryleigh Kirby. Special thanks also to Pascal Izere for outstanding collaboration over the years.
